soundcore by Anker Q20i Wireless Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones with Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling, 40h Playtime in ANC Mode, Hi-Res Audio, Deep Bass, Personalization via App (Black)

For the budget under 5k, this headphone is BEST. Writing after using it for a month. ANC is good. it can reduce the noise by 80-90%. In normal areas, it's hard to hear anything outside especially if you have something playing in headphone with noise cancellation on. Battery backup is amazing as well. I hardly charge it once every 2 weeks. Even though I use it for at least 3-4 hours a day. Hinges are metallic so it's build is nice. There is no worries about it falling apart from the hinges. They are comfortable to wear. Cushions are soft. And it's fit over my ear is perfect. Maybe if you have bigger ears, it might feel awkward but in my opinion, that shouldn't happen. They are big enough. I SOMETIMES face connectivity issue when I had my headphones connected to 2 devices before turning it off. But if it was just a single device, the connectivity is also amazing. It connects as soon as I turn it on. The app of Soundcore is also good. It doesn't have much features but it has what is needed - eq presets and custom eq option. ANC mode - On, Normal, Transparent Sound quality is amazing. Especially if you love to customise Equalizer, it can sound even better depending on your settings. The sound doesn't distort even on high volume. If you are a casual gamer, you can also use it for gaming. But you can notice a SLIGHT sound delay for games. It is no for hardcore gaming. Overall, I'll give it a 9.5/10 based on my experience so far. Score is based on functionality + quality + build + design/comfort + thr budget it is offered for.

Purchased this product for use in gym. Comfort is very good. Never felt fatigued during prolonged usage. The sound quality is good for this price range. Bass is proper, mid bass is good enough to distinguish between overlapping frequencies, mids and treble are decent, it does the work pretty well. The standout feature is the noise cancellation. Cancels out the loud sounds of the gym speakers effortlessly. And the battery life is brilliant. One more thing that stood out is the presence of physical buttons instead of touch buttons, which is a personal favourite. Only con is the call quality. The opposite persons hardly can hear my voice, the outside sounds are prominent. So I had to disconnect the bluetooth and attend calls in normal phone. If you can live with the only con, then it is definitely a product to consider. Having used many headphones tws, IEM over the years, i can definitely recommend this in this price range.

No second thoughts buy it believe me it’s sound quality is EXTREAMLY good: highs, lows, mids TOP OF THE LINE. ANC does it’s job and makes difference not normal (environmental noise cancellation through cushions) is also enough, in ANC mode there is a little pressure your ears will experience if music is off and ya if music is on the lows are also cutted by 1-5% but that’s totally not the problem and transparency works really good if someone talks to you and etc. Also it’s soooooooooooooooooooo COMFORTABLE and SOFT, ok lemme tell about DURABILITY, I was cycling in high speed and I fell it got off my head and dragged 5 meters still only some scratches and it won’t come of easily. Com’n buy it bro it’s the best SOUND RESOLUTION can also be sensed the difference in listening music on YouTube or the music streaming apps on high settings calls quality also clear nice wires and cables quality provided also in product image it looks like metallic finish but it’s Matt black plastic and it looks better than the picture provided no problem with Bluetooth connection loved it it’s 10/5 product, initially using it till a week won’t make you feel the massive sound upgrade but latter you will notice the tss tss and chan chan (highs) to be krisp and clear and the bass very deep and when you listen to your old audio product it will suck

Soundcore Q20i — Rating: 9/10 I am reviewing after almost 2 months use - - Passive isolation: Good noise cut even without turning ANC on - ANC: Effective for low-frequency sounds (fan, engine), weak against voices - Sound quality: Excellent depth with deep, clean bass (not harsh or boomy) - Comfort: Very soft cushions; comfortable for long use, may feel tight for larger ears and slightly heavy at first - Build quality: Solid build with matte finish and glossy logo and extender piece - Durability: Pretty durable and has a metal strip on the extenders Downside: Noticeable sound leakage at high volume Verdict: A great choice if you want more than decent headphones under ₹5k, and sometimes under ₹4k during sales. Tip: Store the headphones in a case to prevent cushion peeling due to moisture, especially in cold climates.

I searched so many avaliable options but bought this because of these reasons: 1. Dual device connected ✅️ 2. Good cushioning ✅️ 3. Over the ear headphones ✅️ 4. Reliable ✅️ 5. App support ✅️ 6. High for me ( so it is decent) The noise cancelation works really well and it can connect two devices at a time. You can also get an application ( soundcore ) on which you can upgrade it and check various themes etc. Overall a good product.

Durability: Lasted 1.5 years of daily use for gaming and music, though the ear cushions eventually wore out and need replacement. Battery Life: Remains strong even after 1.5 years of consistent use. Sound Quality: Good for the price; great for watching movies, series, and casual music listening. Gaming Performance: Not ideal for gaming due to noticeable audio latency (lag). Build Quality: The headphones themselves are good quality, but the included 3.5mm cable is very poor. Overall Experience: Reliable for daily media, with the only issue being the low-quality connector cable.

After using of 1.5 year . The sound of this headphone is fascinating. The bass and everything is mind blowing 🤯 10/10 . Headphone quality is quite good Ear cousin is comfortable, But the biggest cons of this headphone is battery , when i purchased this headphone battery backup is approx 4 to 5 days of normal use but now I can't finish 1 movie , backup is approx just 2 to 3 hour only

Straightforward Review – Soundcore Q20i ✔️ Build & Comfort The best thing about the Q20i is its looks and build quality. They feel solid and slightly heavy, but still comfortable for long sessions. In this price range, and compared to TWS buds, these are among the best over-ear options under ₹5K. 🎶 Sound Quality Out of the box, they sound bassy with sharp treble – not very refined. But once you tune them (Wavelet app or Soundcore app with Higher Treble mode), the real potential of the drivers shows up: Bass becomes smooth & wavy, not muddy. Treble gets controlled and easier to listen to. Mids balance out and don’t get lost. ➡️ With tuning, the Q20i delivers clean, enjoyable sound well above its price. 🎧 ANC & Transparency Having ANC at this price itself is a big deal. ANC works okay but it affects sound quality slightly. Transparency mode keeps the music clear, but the outside sound feels robotic, with a constant fan-like noise. Switching modes: ANC on/off feels smooth, but Transparency switches too sharply. ➡️ For best sound, use Normal mode. 🔌 Wired Mode On wired, the sound is very flat because the DSP (tuning chip) is bypassed. It can sometimes reveal a bit more detail, but usually sounds less exciting. Needs heavy EQ to sound good in wired. ➡️ Best use case: wireless only – that’s what it’s tuned for. 🎯 Final Verdict The Soundcore Q20i is not perfect, but under ₹4.3K it’s an excellent value headphone. Strong build ✔️ Comfortable ✔️ Wireless sound (with tuning) is excellent for the price ✔️ ANC/Transparency are bonus features, not the main highlight ❌ 👉 If you want refined sound without tuning, look elsewhere. 👉 If you don’t mind a little EQ, the Q20i becomes one of the best over-ear headphones under 5K right now and soundcore is a trusted brand and for warranty even Sony JBL Bose or any other brand is not gonna talk much and in this price segment how much ever you tell in Practicsl life Warranty is a Joke in this And Soundcore also is not going to do much if you face some issue with your device the only option is returns or Replacement Hope this review helps you

Definitely 5 stars for the price. I am got these to replace my Sony MDR 1000x (basically the old version of the XM4). Which were 5 X more expensive than these. I beat of my headphones, running, using them for the gym, lots of travel and being thrown into bags. So I decided to go for a cheaper option this time. Although my Sony's lasted almost 10 years I had to keep repairing them myself to keep them going. So here's my comparison against a pretty premium pair of headphones- my wife also has Bose QC35's and I've used them plenty too. Pros: - Sound Isolation is amazing, it has a very good seal over the ears (I have a big head and ears too) - Very comfortable, and suprisingly light. Ear cups feel memory foamish - noise cancelling is pretty great, and it doesn't cause discomfort like some cheap NC - Bass is powerful if you like that - they look good and feel of reasonable quality - the battery is as advertised Cons: - Sound quality over all is not spectacular, but good for the price. The bass is good but the mids and highs are a bit muddy. Honestly though it's completely fine and probably the best sound you'll get around this price. - Turning on the Noise cancelling causes a noticeable dip in sound quality. Although the NC is very impressive, it definitely causes the sound quality to become a bit more tinny. While the bass is still there. Everything else gets washed out. I find myself needing to change EQ settings when I turn NC On and Off. For this reason I have been using them with NC off mostly ( a bit annoying too as it defaults to being on everytime) So if you're tossing up between getting these or breaking the bank. Just know the main thing you'll sacrifice is sound quality. The NC is good, the soundcore app is nice enough, they look good and even sound decent enough. I'm perfectly happy to use these instead of more expensive headphones.

Deep bass, long battery life, and effective noise cancelling. Far exceeded my expectations for a budget-friendly headphone.

Recebi o Q20i hoje e já abri e usei pra escutar o jogo do Brasil x Japão, deu sorte! Que emoção esse gol no final, o áudio é excelente e com o noise canceling ativo não escutei os fogos da vizinhança. Ele já veio com 70% de bateria, eu usei por mais de 2 horas com o noise canceling ativo e baixou só 10%. É um fone leve e com material bem resistente, não incomoda na cabeça o aperto que ele faz, é bem confortável. A qualidade do som é excelente. Gostei bastante do produto, vale o preço, recomendo!

I’ve been a fan of the Soundcore Q20 headphones for a few years and was first encouraged to buy them after reading a review from an audio engineer who said they were great quality for an affordable price. Once my last pair started getting old, I of course went for another pair but didn’t realize I’d picked the Q20i, which are pretty different from the original in my opinion. I’m a musician and listened to my album first with this new pair of headphones to compare the sound since I know the mix by heart, and I was initially disappointed that the EQ sounded so different with this model. BUT I found that when you use the Soundcore app you can select from EQ presets and even customize your own EQ, and that solved that problem pretty quick. To be fair, the Soundcore EQ is nice on its own, but it definitely has more of a punch on the Q20i than the Q20, which for many listeners will be a good thing because your music will sound bigger. Physically speaking, the headphones are comfy and I honestly wear them all day. The charge lasts a good long time, though I miss on the older model how it would say “battery high/medium/low” when you turned them on rather than the newer models where it just lets you know when the battery is starting to run low. As a loyal Soundcore customer, I’m certain these will last me a long time, just like my previous pairs. And the noise cancelling is great, especially as a public transit commuter. Also this is the first pair I’ve received that didn’t come with a case, which isn’t a problem for me but if you’re someone who likes to store your headphones in a case, you will have to find one separately. Altogether, if you are looking for an affordable pair of noise cancelling headphones that sound great and feel comfortable and stay charged for a long time, I highly recommend this option, especially now that I know you can adjust the EQ in the app!

Excellent sound quality, feel nice and sturdy, feel nice and comfortable on your ears, I have the in ear version too, the sound quality is superb and I would highly recommend these, they feel and look a lot more expensive, so great value for money, good weight and size, great sound range with the app , would buy again
